[FSPA] Bowling Queen

[Nick Vaka]

I'm still fairly new to the pinball scene, but I can tell you after buying
my first machine that it pays to get something you know you'll want to
play. I almost bought a Spin-A-Card for a steal at $150, but it would have
been a lot of hassle to buy it, move it, and get bored with the teeny
flippers and flip it to make, what? $450? I say it isn't worth the
investment unless you know you want to play it. Either wait for the York
show as Bob suggested or be on the lookout for games you want.
